Definitions

  • the present application relates to methods for treating and preventing neurocutaneous disorders, such as mediated via the Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC), e.g. tuberous sclerosis and such as mediated via neurofibromatosis type 1.
  • TSC Tuberous Sclerosis Complex
  • Neurocutaneous disorders as used herein includes disorders mediated via the Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC), e.g. tuberous sclerosis and related disorders and neurofibromatosis type 1 and related disorders.
  • TSC Tuberous Sclerosis Complex
  • NF1 neurofibromatosis type 1
  • TSC tuberous sclerosis complex
  • TSC is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by widespread benign hamartomas, epilepsy, mental retardation, and autism. TSC is linked to mutations in the tumor suppressor genes, TSC1 and TSC2. Mutation in either of these two genes leads to the clinical manifestations of TSC. Common clinical symptoms include seizures, mental retardation, autism, kidney failure, facial angiofibromas and cardial Rhabdomyomas, and, in addition, many affected individuals have cyst-like areas within certain skeletal regions, particularly bones of the fingers and toes (phalanges). Characteristic skin lesions include sharply defined areas of decreased skin coloration (hypopigmentation) that may develop during infancy and relatively small reddish nodules that may appear on the cheeks and nose beginning at approximately age four.
  • reddish lesions eventually enlarge, blend together (coalesce), and develop a wart-like appearance (sebaceous adenomas). Additional skin lesions may also develop, including flat,"coffee- colored”areas of increased skin pigmentation(cafe-au-lait spots); benign, fibrous nodules (fibromas) arising around or beneath the nails; or rough, elevated, "knobby”lesions (shagreen patches) on the lower back.
  • AMLs renal angiomyolipomas
  • AMLs are heterogeneous, benign tumors composed of three distinct cell types including smooth muscle, blood vessel, and adipose cells.
  • TSC patients also present with evidence of a devastating form of lung disease called Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM).
  • LAM Lymphangioleiomyomatosis
  • LAM is a unique and rare cystic pulmonary disease (lung) disease that afflicts predominately premenopausal women. Over time, the muscle cells block the flow of air, blood, and lymph to and from the lungs, preventing the lungs from providing oxygen to the rest of the body.
  • Kidney tumors that are often asymptomatic may also be found in patients with LAM, e.g. clinical symptoms are dysapnea, chronic cough, wheezing, pneumothorax, and chest pain,. These symptoms occur and worsen as LAM cells migrate into the lung, causing cystic parenchymal destruction and progressive respiratory failure.
  • LAM can occur as an independent condition (sporadic LAM) or as a secondary condition of TSC (TSC-LAM).
  • AMLs are symptomatic of both LAM (50% of patients presenting) and TSC (70% of patients presenting), and there are no radiological, morphological or genetic differences between AMLs from the two disorder.
  • tuberous sclerosis gene mutations are a cause of lymphyangioleiomyomatosis (LAM).
  • LAM lymphyangioleiomyomatosis
  • the mutations were found in the angiomyolipoma cells and LAM cells from four women with LAM. The mutations were not present in normal lung, kidney or blood cells, indicating that these women with LAM do not have the inherited disease, tuberous sclerosis. Identifying this genetic link between tuberous sclerosis and sporadic LAM is an important step in LAM research, (see e.g. "Mutations in the tuberous sclerosis complex gene TSC2 are a cause of sporatic lymphyangioleiomyomatosis"; Carsillo, Astrinidis and Henske; PNAS 2000 97:6085-90).
  • SEGAs subependymal giant cell astrocytomas
  • Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1 , von Recklinghaus disease) is one of the most common genetic disorders in man. NF1 is caused by a mutation in the NFL gene. NF1 affects the skin, brain, eyes, kidneys and many other parts of the body. NF1 is characterized by developmental changes in the nervous system, muscles, bones and skin, with formation of neurofibromas (benign and malignant tumors/lumps) over the entire body, particularly in the skin and brain: Manifestations of NF1 include formation of neurofibromas (benign and malignant tumors/lumps, gliomas, e.g.
  • optical pathway gliomas such as low grade gliomas over the entire body, particularly in the skin, brain, optical pathway, bone, hyperpigmentated areas of skin, e.g. patches of pigmentation (coffee coloured birthmarks) called f cafe-au-lait' spots, bone diseases, learning disabilities, myeloid malignancies, high blood pressure, and other complications in several organ systems. Scoliosis (curvature of the spine) may also be associated.
  • Gliomas primary brain tumors start in the brain or spinal cord tissue. They do not spread to other areas of the body but can spread within the nervous system. Gliomas can be either benign (slow growing) or malignant (fast growing). Types of gliomas e.g. include - astrocytomas, which start in brain cells called astrocytes and can occur in most parts of the brain (and occasionally in the spinal cord; they are most commonly found in the main part of the brain, the cerebrum;
  • cerebrospinal fluid a rare glioma and can be found anywhere in the brain or spine, but most commonly in the main part of the brain, the cerebrum:
  • - oligodendrogliomas which are primary brain tumors beginning in the brain cells called oligodendrocytes, which provide support and nourishment for the cells that transmit nerve impulses.
  • This tumor is normally found in the cerebrum;
  • - mixed gliomas which are brain tumors of more than one type of brain cell, including cells of astrocytes, ependymal cells and/or oligodendrocytes.
  • the most common site for a mixed glioma is the cerebrum, the main part of the brain. Like other gliomas, they may spread to other parts of the brain. Low grade gliomas are slow growing.High grade (malignant) gliomas grow much more quickly.
  • Grad IV gliomas are designated glioblastomas,
  • Neurofibromatosis also includes the malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) (manifestations are also designated as neurofibromas and schwannomas) which is the malignant counterpart to benign soft tissue tumors.
  • MPNST peripheral nerve sheath tumor
  • neurofibromatosis eg. type NF1
